Ballot open for 2014 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100

Online registration the 2014 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 opened on Monday 12 August at www.PrudentialRideLondon.co.uk and within 24 hours over 50,000 people registered for next year’s event, which will take place on Sunday 10 August 2014 and will form part of the Mayor’s festival of cycling.

“The success of the inaugural Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 has galvanized people to take up this unique challenge, of being able to cycle on traffic-free streets, past iconic London landmarks and through beautiful Surrey countryside. It took us nearly five months to get to this landmark figure in the first year,’’ said Event Director Hugh Brasher.

“As the largest inaugural timed mass-participation event in the world, this amazing response – only eight days after our first event – shows that Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 is destined to become one of the must-do events of 2014.’’

The registration system will remain open until 6 January 2014 or until 80,000 registrations have been received; whichever is the earlier.
